As I gaze at the girl in the mirror tears fill my eyes, for I know this girl oh so well trapt by a mirror full of lies. It tells her she's weak never good enough. It shows her her scars as she trys to cover them up. It always puts her down, never giving good advice. The mirror is cruel , It never says anything nice. It fills her with worries and doubt. Its hard to shut the negitivity out. It makes her want to hide until something catches her eye ,she gives the girl a sad smile. She went through hell, and yeah she survived she learned from the pain and strives. Strives to be strong and move on. Such a beautiful girl.
She is still smiling, although inside she is crying. She puts on a show so no one will know how much it hurts. She moves on and walks tall not afraid to fall.
Throughout all the struggle and pain she'll walk again, with a head held high. Cause she survived! She looks to the future with hope in her eyes. Such a beautiful girl in a mirror full of lies

WELCOME FRIEND ~ Thanks you for a beautifully written and structured Poem ~ replete with rhyme & rhythm ! The subject is something we can all relate to ~ Yin & Yang. The mirror image is of course not what others see (or how we look in a photograph) perhaps that is is why we are never satisfied with what we see ~ especially au natural in a full length mirror first thing in the morning ~ before grooming ! However your Poem in metaphorical as well a literal. Yes our bedroom mirror and our "mirror of conscience & despair" does reveal a self others seldom see. But we must all earn a crust in the "Real World" and that demands "The brave face" "The Cosmetics" "The Grooming" and "The stiff upper lip" MISTER & MISS MAKE BELIEVE ! I like the last couplet ~ it give us Hope ~ and shows (despite the mirror) that SHE also has Hope ~ AMEN. "Throughout all the struggle and pain she'll walk again ~ with a head held high. Cause she survived. She looks to the future with hope' in her eyes. Such a beautiful girl in a mirror full of lies". Thanks for caring and sharing ~ Yours BRIAN (UK).
Yes lady this is really
Very good.... mirrors??
I personally hate them
As what I see is not
How I feel....
I sometimes think I'm
A vampire as I hate to
See myself in them..
Lovely poem. Well done..
